Attorney Eon Smith | Criminal Defense & Immigration Lawyer | NY & CT

Attorney Eon Smith is the founder of Smith & Company, a criminal defense and immigration law firm with offices in Hartford, Connecticut and New York City. For years, Eon Smith has dedicated his practice to representing individuals facing the most serious challenges the legal system can present — federal indictments, state felony charges, immigration consequences, and post-conviction proceedings where the window for relief can close without warning. He built Smith & Company around a single principle: when someone's life is on the line, they deserve an attorney who treats their case as the most important case in the office — because it is the most important case in the world to them. Attorney Smith approaches every client with the intensity of a trial attorney who will go the distance, and the strategic thinking of an appellate lawyer who builds the record for every stage that might follow.

Attorney Smith is admitted to practice before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. He has appeared in some of the nation's most active and demanding federal courtrooms — courts where the stakes are measured in mandatory minimum sentences, where the prosecutors are career specialists backed by the full investigative power of the federal government, and where the quality of the defense makes the difference between decades in prison and a fundamentally different outcome. His federal practice spans drug trafficking defense, RICO prosecutions, money laundering, wire fraud, securities fraud, federal firearms offenses, grand jury investigations, federal sentencing advocacy, and post-conviction relief — all areas where the margin between adequate counsel and exceptional counsel is measured in years.

In New York and Connecticut state courts, Attorney Smith is known for aggressive pretrial motion practice, thorough factual investigation, and a genuine commitment to the clients who trust him with the most important legal matter of their lives. He understands — from experience on both sides of complex, high-stakes legal proceedings — that when someone is charged with a crime or facing deportation, their entire world changes overnight. Relationships fracture. Careers are suspended. Families are destabilized. Smith & Company exists to stand between the government and its clients — to challenge every assumption the prosecution makes, scrutinize every piece of evidence it presents, exploit every legal weakness in its case, and pursue every avenue of defense with the full force of the firm's experience and commitment.
